Behavior Therapist, Pediatric ABA - Clinic-Based

Starting at $19/hour ($22.50 once RBT certified - all training paid) Paid Training & Certification Daytime shifts (starting at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 4pm) & Saturday availability needed At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT) , we do more than provide therapy—we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven , with deep respect for each child’s individuality, autonomy, and potential. As a Behavior Technician , you’ll be part of that mission. You’ll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence—and you’ll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs. What a Day Looks Like: Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You’ll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2–12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life. Here’s what that actually looks like: Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new It’s not a desk job—it’s a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves, be‑there‑in‑the‑moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day. Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy: We’re not your typical ABA clinic—and we’re proud of that. At NSPT, we don’t force compliance or chase cookie‑cutter milestones. Instead, we prioritize: Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the child’s voice. Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamwork —you’ll work alongside OTs, SLPs, and mental health professionals. Supportive leadership and mentorship , with real‑time coaching and thoughtful feedback. A people‑first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and you’re never alone.

You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months .
